Ashland Forest Resiliency Partners will lead a hike of the Red Queen Trail in October, 2018. Explore the Ashland Watershed with partners from the Ashland Forest Resiliency project. Learn more about how forest restoration is conceived and implemented for the diverse habitats in Ashland’s watershed. Hikers will meet at Terrace Street up The Lower Red Queen trail. Hikers will pass through forest restoration sites on U.S. Forest Service and City of Ashland lands, including several years of prescribed burn projects closer to the city.

is a collaboration between the U.S. Forest Service, the City of Ashland, The Nature Conservancy, and Lomakatsi Restoration Project. We have been conducting a 10-year stewardship project designed to reduce the risk of severe wildfire in the Ashland Watershed to protect water quality,older forests, wildlife, people, property, and quality of life.

On Wednesday, November 8th, 2017 Dr. Paul Hessburg presented his research on fire prone landscapes at the SOU Science Auditorium.
